Glo-Kit
Modular sports playset that feels like a video game.
Glo-Kit was a second-year project at university that was a collaborative brief with a major toy manufacturer.
I was inspired by the use of retroreflectors for visual effects in movies like Tron and Star Wars, and I wanted to make a set of building blocks for kids to make up their own games. My response was a modular kit that could be configured in various ways, all with retroreflectors.
There was also an accompanying headset design that housed flashlights pointing parallel with the user’s eyes that would cause the glowing effect of the play pieces.
